Thrace, Chersonesos Diobol - (357-320 BC) (No reserve price)
The Diobol minted in Chersonesos, Thrace, between 357 and 320 BC, represents Hellenic coinage from a Greek colony located in the northern Aegean region. Chersonesos was strategically important for controlling regional trade routes and interactions between Greek settlers and indigenous Thracian tribes. The diobol was a silver coin worth two obols, used for everyday transactions. Coins from this era often bear images of local deities, animals, or symbols reflecting civic pride and economic stability. This timeframe coincides with the late classical period, prior to the rise of Macedonian dominance, illustrating the political and artistic milieu of Thracian city-states. Such coins provide valuable information on regional identities, monetary systems, and artistic expression in ancient northern Greece.
